Y'know I had this same kind of thought watching old Thomas the Tank Engine episodes. There is one where Percy wants a scarf and Henry calls him silly, only to be told that scarves are for engines with proper funnels and "you've only got a small one!" As a kid, that seems innocent. As an adult...I can't help but wonder if that's a sneaky way of Percy calling Henry less of a "man" if you will XD
